Remote Access & Configuring UPC Connection Box Router, Fixed IP, Port 8443, Custom Ports

Question

Welcome. I have a UPC routers at some point with a fixed IP address.
I would like to be able to configure it from outside at any time.
In settings I enabled the "Remote access" function on port 8443, but unfortunately nothing else - no possibility of getting to the configuration page.
In the future I want to configure additional RDP ports.
Router to Connection Box from UPC.

PS. Can the port set in the configuration be arbitrary, invented by me?

ConnectBox and a fixed IP address - since when is a fixed IP address for a retailer at UPC?
It has blocked this option by default, but you can enable it by activating the option in the menu Tools Administrator-Remote Access (and there you select the port), select what you need and Compal will be rested.

Sometimes they can IP in UPC (although variables for the retailer) hold the same few months, and sometimes they can change IP on a daily basis - the only advice is NEVER turn off Compal from the power - it gives a certain stabilization that until Compal is online they will not change your IP (though you can not be 100% sure here). I can reveal that UPC is working on a permanent IP for retailers - I note, WORKS (which obviously does not mean that such an option for the retailer will ever be and probably as in the UPC Biznes option, this service will be additionally payable monthly).

it's better / more convenient / safer to place a VPN and have access to the entire canon instead of opening single ports.

MarekPPN · Answer

Apparently yes, but on the other side I would have to configure the VPN connection with this router on different devices each time. And this is not an option. I do not always use one and the same device. As for this IP I still have to make sure, because it turns out that: ... I can have a variable address. I need to check it thoroughly.

I am a little surprised by such questions as yours @MarekPPN because what is in the router (what parameters) to configure it so often? For me once configured router should work without looking.

bogiebog · Answer

Maybe the author wants to open ports for different locations, ie where srcip = X? and X = current ip address.

MarekPPN · Answer

But why ask such questions? There can be many reasons - I will not list them for you. There is actually such an option (bookmark) Remote access option is enabled on the port j / w, but if the IP address is really changeable then it's okay.

MarekPPN · Answer

Thanks for your response and information.

MarekPPN · Answer

I checked. The router still has the same IP address, but unfortunately it is not possible to log into its configuration page. I changed the port for 9000 for sure, but it did not help.
Ping passes without problems.

KOCUREK1970 · Answer

And you restarted the box current for 30 seconds?

MarekPPN · Answer

Yes. It happens that this router is turned off during the day for a limited time. nmap indicates that port 9000 on the given IP address is open, but I still can not jump to the configuration page.

MarekPPN · Answer

Often from the GSM network or just from another stationary location. Now the router's IP address has changed. I tried to log in to the new address and port 9000, but the problem is the same as above.

After logging in to Conekt Box / Administrative tools / information there is information like: IPv6 lease time: and IPv6 lease expires
